Wife and I saw it yesterday. I can honestly, open-mindedly and unbiasedly say it was awful. And I'm not talking about the sex scenes which were standard, by-the-book 'R'-rated fare, nothing we haven't seen in the past 30 years.

The film as a whole; acting, story, script, dialogue, characters was just awful.

And I'm not saying it was awful because, as a conservative I'm supposed to be offended by sexual content and licentiousness. I'm not. I've made no claims to being a Puritan.

And I'm not saying it's awful because, as a conservative, I'm supposed to loath Hollywood and their degradation of American culture. I really don't care.

I'm saying it was awful because it was flat-out awful. I've seen real porn films with better acting and dialogue. How much I thought this film sucked, where to begin?

50 Shades of Excrement

It was that bad.

IMDB is summing it up much better than I can.

The film will make a bunch of money this weekend, enough to finance the two planned sequels but I can't imagine many people leaving the theaters thinking they saw a great film.

Come Tuesday when everyone is back to work, the buzz on this isn't going to be good. I predict a huge drop-off next weekend.

For me, the absolute highlight of the movie was seeing the trailer for Hot Tub Time Machine 2.

I had never heard of Hot Tub Time Machine 2 (or HTTM 1 for that matter). Not having seen it, I would still guess that it isn't as creative or funny as the Japanese comedy Thermae Romae which involves time-travel between 2nd-century Rome (reign of Hadrian) and modern Japan.

What I know about it (not too much) sounds exceedingly boring.

If I want porn, I’ll watch porn. Otherwise I want plot, acting, script etc.

I recall watching Sex and the City. OK at first, then it just got tedious and annoying.

You want a really good movie, watch the original *Swedish* “Girl with the Dragon Tattoo”. NOT the US remake.

That's funny.

Next they will make the same movie but with homosexual characters. No depravity is too deep for Hollywood.
